As promised, if you’re inspired by the march today but don’t know how else to get involved, how to sustainably fight fascism, that can look a few different ways. Here’s a thread of thoughts, short of nationwide withholding of labor / sustained protest:

James Baldwin to Angela Davis in 1970, discussing white Americans:

I'll say it again. Our horror at the Gaza genocide and at the atrocity in Manchester comes in both cases from the same, inherent part of our shared humanity. We need to assert that shared humanity in the face of both these evils as loudly as possible, and in as many practical ways as we can.

"This is a very race-conscious administration. It just happens to be the case that its policies, its prescriptions, its advocacy, its project is in service of whiteness. ...Whiteness is a race, too. It's also an ideology," says @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social. newrepublic.substack.com/p/race-and-r...

Pope Maic, “Someone who says I’m against abortion , they’re not pro life”

Read “Assata: An Autobiography.” Her legacy is immense, and she was one of our great activists.

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

If being anti-fascist is "antiamerican" then supporting America is __________?

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

Jimmy Kimmel spent years doing mealy-mouthed middle america bullshit, petting trumps stupid hair, and they STILL axed his show for telling the obvious truth. goes to show you what capitulating to fascists gets you.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Ok, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings remake, but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:

If the recommendation to Democrats was to speak plainly, casually, like a normal person having a real conversation rather than like a politician stumbling through jargon, they’d be gushing about Mamdani and telling Dems to be more like him. But they’re not, because they really mean something else.

🚨 DC CALLS ON OUR ALLIES IN OHIO: We do not want OH National Guard members in our communities - and neither should you. Allies, we call on you to get Governor DeWine to recall OH National Guard members immediately. Send a letter: FreeDCproject.org/ohio

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

Yet another helpful explainer to counter the ignorant disinformation spouted by the unqualified extremist who is currently destroying the HHS

Unexpectedly good politics from Thomas Kinkade's family! www.kinkadefamilyfoundation.org

“Comics were the first ones to punch Nazis before movies. They are inherently political. One thing they want to do is erase the past, but that’s one thing that this museum celebrates.” Guillermo del Toro at San Diego Comi-con on the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art

No one wants this GALLOP: Support for allowing undocumented immigrants to become U.S. citizens has risen to 78%, up from 70% last year.

This is so worth reading for the range of issues covered: censorship of genocide in Gaza, harm caused by generative/large-scale AI models, and how tech giants “power war and exacerbate injustice.” Dr. Birhane is an extremely good communicator about these issues — clear, concise, direct, honest.

This is the best thread on BS today Its long. Plz sit down, read it, & take it EVERY SCATHING WORD that John has typed + what Douglass wrote) Get some coffee or a drink. Take in every single word and remember: it was spoken in 1852 and now in 2025 its still the most relevant US indictment Ive seen

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

This is an image maga is posting to stoke fear of Mamdani. A list of things that sound awesome

it turns out that embracing a multi-racial, multi-faith democracy is the best path towards peace in this chaotic world.

Pedro Pascal defended calling out JK Rowling as a "heinous loser" and said that "bullies make me fucking sick" and that he wants to "protect the people I love." variety.com/2025/tv/news...

I am incensed. This is all so heartbreaking and despicable. The Iranian people do not deserve this violence. We do not deserve this governance. The world does not deserve this. These outrages must end.

Good for her . Because sometimes it’s not about yelling It’s about saying in public to someone cruel don’t you dare

Here's something I post from time to time. My answer to a reader who asked me: what could journalists do NOW to break with some of their more corrosive habits.

every protest I've ever been to(and I've been to a lot) was like 95% normies, don't let the cosplayers on the internet fool you, the people out there are the ones who drive change, not the ones serialposting about how wrongly they're doing it

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

If we don’t create a more humane world, then we lose our humanity. That’s what’s at stake. That’s what’s always been at stake.

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote.

This is such a great way to have a big impact on families in Gaza - contributions are being matched for the next $500! ⬇️

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

These people suck at running the government is all I can say from the cheap seats. Unless their intent is to dismantle & collapse it & sell it to enrich billionaires while a majority is left destitute & desperate with marginalized groups & dissidents persecuted by advanced policing & incarceration.

Walter Benjamin writing about fascism in 1936 "Fascism attempts to organize the newly proletarianized masses without affecting the property structure which the masses strive to eliminate. Fascism sees its salvation in giving these masses not their right, but instead a chance to express themselves."
